The cult of David Lynch has had almost forty years to expand, so it was probably inevitable that his aesthetic would influence other artists. And of course, cinema has seen its fair share of Lynch devotees-turned-directors, churning out post-Mulholland Drive freak-outs. But Lynchs shadow stretches well beyond the parameters of Hollywood, and the impact he has had on games has been surprisingly widespread and profound. Theres no shortage of designers happy to announce that influence through overt homage. Hideo Kojima included a direct reference to Eraserhead in his recent Silent Hills playable teaser by dropping Henry and Marys pathetic monster-baby in a bathroom sink. The televisions in Remedy Entertainments Max Payne broadcast episodes of Address Unknown, an in-game program featuring a backward-talking flamingo in a red-and-white striped room. And Deadly Premonition so closely resembles the first season of Twin Peaks that it often feels like a fever-dream remake, treading peril...

Jorge S Fernandez: "The cancellation of Silent Hills, and the subsequent removal of P.T. from PSN (as well as making it ineligible for re-downloading, turning pre-installed PS4s into a hot commodity on eBay) remains the single biggest blow to Triple-A horror fans in quite some time, if not ever. While Konami continues to burn every bridge that linked them to console games, disappointed horror fans can at least take solace that new and exciting horror games continue to manifest in various places courtesy of Indie devs. There is also the possibility that Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro will take their abandoned ideas for Silent Hills and kickstart their own horror project free from Konami's incompetence, but until then we must stop dreaming about the future and partake in the nightmares of the present day horror scene."

Daniel Kurland, GIZORAMA - "Konami is certainly one of the heaviest hitters out there when it comes to game developers. They have many AAA franchises and are the sort of company that makes games that people line up outside the store at midnight for. There is a lot of talent coursing through Konami, not only in its franchises, but also with the creative minds themselves that work there. Thats why the news of Hideo Kojima (the entirety of Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and the upcoming-now-canceled Silent Hills)essentially Konamis Don Draperleaving the company puts an uncertain future ahead for the normally steadfast juggernaut."
